GPL

GNU General Public License

An amazing software license that uncompromisingly forces anyone using your code to also open-source theirs under the pretense of "freedom". Largely used by individuals who need to reassert their own ego, don't understand the license and/or have not heard of MIT/BSD/ISC.

Jill: Let's write an open-source program that people can do whatever the fuck they want with!
Mark: Sounds great. Want to use MySQL as a back end?
Jill: No, the shit is GPL-licensed.
